First, the aftermath. Much fun, fellowship and levity took place on our front porch last evening.
The heat made all the tulips pop into full being.
Sophie checks out the kids on their way to school.
The quince is in full flower.
The trees - bare two days ago - are leafing out rapidly.
The last of the grape hyacinths prepare for the sun and heat.
Brian's new fountain and patio herb garden is taking shape nicely.
The white birches we planted last year show every sign of growing like mad this year.
To honor the passing of our dear friend and companion, Dutch, we planted an "Elizabeth" magnolia tree. In the past few days, it has flowered so grandly and dramatically with its pale butter colored blooms, it almost brings tears to our eyes as we think of our little guy.His tags and an inscribed copper plate hang from the tree.

Here’s to Dutch and his everlasting companionship. Just think you can admire the blooms all season long and be reminded of him, “Dutch is blooming pretty nicely this year...”
What a pretty yard and a fitting tribute to your dog.
When we lived in Maimi we had a stand of palms near the front door, and when we lost a pet--and we had eight--we'd put their collar and tags on the palm. It was nice to see as you left the house each morning.
Cool pictures. That quince tree is beautiful.
